What is the meaning of No one tests the depth of a river with both feet?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
This folk homily refers to the fact that most humans, in their need to protect themselves from harm, do not commit to a situation until they are relatively certain that no harm will come to them.
Example:
When a person arrives at a river bank, they rarely jump in with both feet before establishing the depth of the water. They would, at most, put in one foot at first. If they cannot touch the bottom, the water may be too deep to cross.
The same with any other unknown situation: Test first from a safe point, then commit fully after being fairly sure of the consequences.
